The feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West has flared up once again. For years, the tension between the two artists has simmered, but recently their rivalry reignited with Kanye West’s release of his latest studio album.
In his new album, Vultures 2, Kanye West took a swipe at Taylor Swift and her boyfriend in a track called “Lifestyle.” In the song, Kanye raps, “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.” The reference to Taylor Swift and her boyfriend has puzzled many listeners, with some speculating that Kanye’s remarks are a ploy to attract attention to his new release.
Though Taylor Swift has not directly responded, she has taken a surprising step by releasing four limited editions of her album Tortured Poets Department. This move is seen as a direct challenge to Kanye West and aims to prevent his album from topping the Billboard 200 next week.
Currently, Kanye West’s album is climbing the charts on iTunes in several countries, but it faces strong competition from Taylor Swift, who is well-positioned to block it from reaching the #1 spot on the Billboard 200. Despite its release being some time ago, Tortured Poets Department remains a strong contender in the digital music market, consistently holding the top position on the Billboard 200, underscoring Taylor Swift’s status as the “queen of sales.”
